EARTHTRENDS: THE ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION PORTALWorld Resources Institute (WRI) - 04 July 2001 - Earthtrends: The Environmental Information Portal (http://earthtrends.wri.org) is the World Resources Institute's new interactive website. EarthTrends is intended to be the first place to go for timely and accurate global environmental and sustainable development information. You can also access EarthTrends through WRI's newly re-designed website, http://www.wri.org/wri/ . EarthTrends was developed to make relevant, high-quality information easily accessible and free to all. EarthTrends contains something for policy-makers in government and private industry, NGOs, educators, students, and the general public. EarthTrends offers five ways to explore the site: a searchable database, maps, country profiles, text and graphics "features" pieces, and pre-formatted datatables. You can use these five tools to access information in ten topic areas: coastal and marine ecosystems; forests and grasslands; water resources and freshwater systems; agriculture and food; climate and atmosphere; population, health, and human well-being; economics and business; energy; biodiversity and protected areas; and environmental governance. |
